Almost 300 pages of wonderfully creative ideas for any scrapbook page are what this book provides. There are so many great tips and tricks that it is hard to list the best ones in a short review. Here are a few of them:

1. There is one complete chapter on setting up a scrapbooking space. If you can't use the whole idea, maybe a part of it will work in your space.

2. Do you like the "burnt edge" look but aren't sure how to get it without actually burning the paper? Page 106 tells you how.

3. How about a faux-metal affect? How do you make it? Page 194 will explain how.

4. Get a lot of fake credit cards in the mail? Be sure to keep a few and use them as glue spreaders.

5. And the best one, create your own marbleized paper. Page 190 walks you through the steps to create this wonderfully fun paper to use as backgrounds or accents.

Between the room and storage ideas and all the page ideas, I am in scrapbook hea

This book is packed with amazing ideas. I sit and read it every evening and then put some idea to use the next day in a scrapbook or card. I would highly recommend this book to spark your own creativity ideas as well as using theirs. It is an incredible book to keep and look in every spare moment and especially when you have a creative block! Wow what a great book.

I simply LOVED this book.
I have been scrapbooking for some years now and I have LOADS of books on the subject.
This is one I consider among the top 5.

The best part of it is how the authors show many mixed-media techniques that can be used to scrapbooking.

Pages are beautiful, techniques are creative, many, MANY ideas.

Highly recommended!

Just when I thought there were no more new techniques to try, this book proved me wrong! There are many new things to be seen, and I can use them for both cardmaking and scrapbooking. Best of all, I can use materials I already have to make new embellishments. Try it, you may like it!

I bought this book at an arts and crafts store after looking through it briefly. I even had a coupon and saved 40%. After getting it home and really diving in, I would have gladly paid full price! What I love about this book is that there are so many tips and suggestions for all aspects of scrapbooking, including organizing your supplies, creating descriptive journaling, sketching layouts, trying new techniques on your pages, and using common household items to do creative new things.

I would recommend this book for beginner to experienced scrapbookers. There are tips and ideas that everyone can use.

I liked this book, and think it'll come in handy to anyone who has a love of scrapbooking. I'm intermediate, but I don't know a lot of the tricks of scrapping, and this helped. It also gave some layout ideas. Great tool to utilize.
